I know, with the likes of Star Wars and Indiana Jones being snatched up, the LA catalogue probably isn't a big priority but I wonder what this could mean for the future of some of our favorite adventure games?

You never know. Maybe TTG will ask them to let them use some of the Lucasarts games like Monkey Island, Indiana Jones & maybe they might let them have S&M Freelance Police but that would be very very unlikely.

I know you guys don't like Kotaku, but they did mention one thing about this story that I found particularly heartening:

Kotaku said:

In a conference call this afternoon, Disney’s Bob Iger said they will be focusing on social and mobile games and will likely license their IPs for console gaming—meaning you’ll see other studios making Star Wars games (as has happened a few times already, like with BioWare’s MMORPG The Old Republic).

Make of that what you will, but it does leave me a little more hopeful for more Monkey Island et al.

I'd be surprised if they don't license the games out when asked by reliable, established studios. The deal cost them over $4,000,000,000 US dollars. Surely they won't mind getting some of that cash back through licensing deals.

Another thing I'm wondering, since it seems they're planning to use LucasArts as a development studio with the statement that they plan to make mobile and social games... I wonder if they'll keep the LucasArts staff to making Star Wars games, or if we might see some LucasArts developed Disney or Disney-Pixar projects as well.
